🍽 | Seasons Of Serverless

We have come to the end of the #SeasonsOfServerless developer challenge series!! It's been an incredible eight weeks of learning and doing, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Want to learn more about what #SeasonsOfServerless is and how you can participate? Start by reading this post:


πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ | 'The Recipe Connector' (Week 7 Challenge)!

Our chefs last week were Microsoft Student Ambassadors Bethany Jepchumba, Adefemi Afuwape and Felix Omuok from the beautiful nations of Kenya πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ and Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬! Their vision: bring together a collection of recipes from the different countries and cultures in Africa - and allow people to rediscover their memories of family cooking by requesting recipes relevant to specific regions or memories.

From the project brief

In Africa, city cooks want to reconnect with their country roots. In Kenya, there are many traditional dishes, but no one in Nairobi remembers how to make them! In Lagos, Nigeria, cooks are eager to recreate their grandmother's famous jollof rice, but they can't quite remember the proportions of ingredients. Let's set up a City/Country hotline!

Create a service that will allow a user to send a query for a specific dish to a given relative of your choosing and receive the appropriate and authentic recipe.
